Have you been crippled, leg calf muscle area, by welchol?Sudden onset of crippling pain in knee/upper area of right leg. First had a severe stabbing pain in upper part of calf right under the bend in the knee. Could not stand, put weight on the right leg. Severe pain if I put my big toe on the ground! 9 days later, the pain has not diminished but can stand on leg to walk a little.

All these are part of one weight loss supplement which I would look to try but I am concerned if there may be any adverse effects

Drug interactions with gilizide, metformin, lisinopril and welchol (1 answer)I have been on Janumet , lisinopril and simvastatin. Dr. Replaced simvastatin with Welchol due to muscle pains. We also switched from Janumet back to just Metformin since glipizide was helping so much. Pharmacist said not to take Welchol at the same time as the others due to binding. I take the others at breakfast and supper. So when is the best time to take the Welchol? Dr. Said I can take it at night but it needs to taken with food.
